Wondering
AloudCome
ponder and celebrate life’s mystery with us. Our Sunday services
explore insights from world religion, philosophy, and earth-based
spiritual
traditions. We are a warm and open, member-led community,
whose small size fosters connectedness. Join us as we walk
together the road less traveled.

The
First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven has been a part of
the community since 1836. Our
member-led services are held Sundays at 10:30 am,
with
refreshments and conversation after the service. We
are a welcoming
congregation and proudly offer a warm welcome to
all, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.

Our
meetinghouse
is located at 608
Whitney Avenue in the Whitney Avenue
Historic District of New Haven, 1.3 miles north of the New
Haven Green and about
one-half mile south of the town
of Hamden.
We offer hearing assist devices for the hearing impaired.

The
congregation gives away its weekly collection to organizations
pursuing social and environmental justice. We select a different
recipient each quarter. We are donating the money collected at this
quarter's services to Catholic Charities in New Haven.

March 3: “Meditations on the Power of Minimalism.”T.
S. Eliot said midwinter spring is its own season . . . suspended in
time, between pole and tropic.” A good time to reflect on the beauties
and consolations of the small, the subtle, and the abstract--the things
that are hardest to put into words but sometimes speak to us the most
forcefully. Readings from Eliot, The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of
Painting, the Tao Te Ching, and others. Coordinated by Anne Cherry.

March 10: “Not Just Lead Into Gold--Slavery Into Citizenship.”Readings
from current published works on the New England Colony & efforts
since 1956 to protect wealth from democracy. Coordinated by Ben Ross.

March 17: “Beyond the Pale: A Celebration for St. Patrick" Unlike
the Jews, who were often put within walls, the Irish have had a long
experience of being walled out, physically and socially. What can we
learn from their history of discrimination? Coordinator: Francis
Braunlich.

March 24: “The Silver Rowan ot the Earth Queen by the Deep Water.” The
name of the season gives us our image as we enter spring, while Venus
declines in the morning in the phase of Water. The rowan is the tree of
magic and we celebrate the magic of the Earth that brings new life.
Deep water warns us to pay attention and take care. Incense will
be used in the service. Co-ordinated by Gaianne Jenkins
